NDIS Vocational Assessments
Identifying abilities and
Vocational Opportunities
Vocational assessments identify the skills, interests, and abilities of NDIS participants, enabling them to make informed choices about their career paths and vocational aspirations.
The vocational assessment process
The process starts with an initial consultant with the participant and one of our consultants. We want to know about their interests and what their hobbies are, to develop a better understanding of the skills they require, to reach their NDIS goals.
Our team use a variety of assessment tools, which include interviews, questionnaires and skills tests, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the participant’s abilities. Through the Vocational assessment, our therapists are able to identify the participant’s strengths and transferable skills aligned with their interests.
We know how important it is for us to be encouraging throughout the process. We want our clients to feel empowered to explore potential career pathways. Our therapists believe in a collaborative approach. The assessment is then used to identify suitable employment options and set realistic vocational goals.
